Abstract: An information processing method for a vehicle includes capturing and storing images of an area in front of the vehicle, acquiring information on the speed of the vehicle, and transmitting an image to an information processing apparatus when a judgment is made that a change in speed equal to or greater than a threshold occurs while the vehicle is traveling in a predetermined section, the image being captured during a predetermined period that includes the time when the judgment is made.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a light emitting layer material comprising: a polycyclic aromatic compound (1) in which a plurality of aromatic rings are linked by a boron atom and a oxygen atom or a nitrogen atom; and a specific anthracene-based compound (3) that achieves optimum light-emission characteristics in combination with said polycyclic aromatic compound. With this light emitting layer material having optimum light emitting characteristics, it is possible to provide an excellent organic EL element. Ring A to ring C are an aryl ring or the like, Y1 is B (boron), X1 and X2 are —O— or >N—R (provided that at least one is —O—), X is a group represented by formula (3-X1), (3-X2), or (3-X3), Y is —O—, —S— or >N—R29, R29 is a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted aryl, Ar1 to Ar4 are phenyl, a group represented by formula (4), or the like, and both Ar1 and Ar3 do not simultaneously represent a phenyl.

Abstract: An object is to provide an azoline ring-containing compound which achieves characteristics required for an organic EL element, such as a driving voltage, a quantum efficiency, and element lifetime in a well-balanced manner, and particularly can obtain a high quantum efficiency, for example, in a case where the azoline ring-containing compound is used for the organic EL element. The above object is achieved by an azoline ring-containing compound represented by the following general formula (1). In formula (1), ? represents an m-valent group derived from an aromatic hydrocarbon having 6 to 40 carbon atoms or the like, Y represents —O—, —S—, or >N—Ar, R1 to R5 each represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and L represents a phenylene group or the like.

Abstract: An information processing method for a vehicle includes capturing and storing images of an area around the vehicle, and transmitting an image to an information processing apparatus when a judgment is made that a road on which the vehicle is traveling can no longer be identified by map matching, the image being captured at a time when the judgment is made.

Abstract: A communication terminal is connected to a server and provides movement guidance for a mobile unit based on guidance information delivered from the server. The terminal requests the server for update information for updating area identification information that identifies a section corresponding to an update target area and a section not corresponding to the update target area on a section-by-section basis. The update target area is an area whose terminal-side map information included in the communication terminal is an older version. The terminal updates the area identification information based on the update information transmitted from the server, requests the server for guidance information for providing movement guidance for the mobile unit based on the updated area identification information, and provides the movement guidance for the mobile unit based on the guidance information delivered from the server.

Abstract: A high-density magnetic recording medium uses a nonmetallic substrate, while still providing high in-plane magnetic anisotropy and remanent coercivity. Such a medium can be formed by depositing a seed layer on a textured surface of the nonmetallic substrate in a gas mixture containing oxygen or nitrogen and an inert gas, while controlling the oxygen concentration or nitrogen concentration, and subsequently exposing the surface of the seed layer to oxygen or nitrogen.
